1963 Thunderbird Classic Invitational Program - Arnold Palmer Win
Arnold Palmer's win at the 1963 Thunderbird Classic held at Westchester Golf Club just outside New York was a tuneup for the 1963 United States Open which was contested a short flight for Palmer the following week at The Country Club just outside Boston. Palmer playing in top form finished in a regulation tie in both events. At the Thunderbird, Palmer would win a sudden death playoff (10th win in 13 playoff tries) over Paul Harney with a par 3 on the first extra hole. Unfortunately he was not as lucky the next week falling in an 18 hole playoff to Julius Boros for the U.S. Open Championship. The program offered here comes in excellent condition.
